WIN Big with the Overstrand Penguin Campaign!

The objective of the Overstrand Penguin Campaign is to raise awareness of the plight of the African penguin while creating an interest in the Overstrand’s many attractions. It’s not all black and white for penguins! Some rather colourful penguins have made their home in Gansbaai and other Overstrand towns. Twelve giant penguins that are colourfully decorated by various local artists can be found at sponsored locations in Gansbaai, Stanford, Hermanus and Kleinmond and are waiting for you to visit them!

 
Stand a chance to win big with the penguins of the Overstrand!

There are 8 penguins in Gansbaai (including Pearly Beach) and 4 outside of Gansbaai at the tourism offices (Stanford, Kleinmond and Hermanus) as well as La Pentola in Hermanus. To see where exactly the penguins are as well as the story behind each one, read here.
